Five Up and Down The River

To put it simply this game can get you drunk real fast…..

To start this game simply lay down two rows of 10 cards face down, now to start it off your dealer will turn to his left and ask the person smoke or fire (black or red) if the person guesses the card correctly they give out five drinks if they guess wrong they take five drinks, and this goes around the table for each participant the participant then holds on to the card. Next hand is higher or lower which means is the card in the dealers hand higher or lower than the card in front of you. Again if you guess it right you give five drinks if you guess wrong you take five drinks. The third card is the outside or in between card meaning is the card in the dealers hand outside or in between the cards in front of you, just like before get it right give five drinks get it wrong take five drinks. The fourth and final card is just guessing the correct suit (diamonds, hearts, spades, or clubs) if you get it right you give five drinks get it wrong and you take five drinks.

Now once this first part of the game is done the fun and real drinking begins

The dealer picks the give row and the take row from the two rows or cards that were laid out before the game started, and the give row always goes first. The first card in the give row is worth one drink the second card two drinks third card three drinks and so on all the way to 10. If the dealer flips the card and you have that card you get to give the number of drinks the card is worth. The drink total doubles if the card is the same as the number of drinks on the table ( for example a 2 pops up on the second card in the row so that card becomes four drinks) If no one has the card that is flipped over on the table take a card from the deck and flip it until someone has the card.

The take row works the same way except you don’t get to give out the drinks you take them hence the name.

This is another one of my personal favorites I learned to play it at my buddy’s house and it goes by just Up and Down the River as well. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

[…] To start this off this beer isn’t as bad as everyone says it is, I find it to be rather smooth, crisp and refreshing. To be honest it doesn’t have much of a flavor at all but when you are strapped for cash and need a beer for mass consumption you really can’t go wrong with this one. It pours out nicely in a glass with good head and all, but I guarantee if you are drinking this it is either out of a 12oz can or a 24 oz can most likely while playing beer pong, or five up and down the river.

Beer of the Week!

Old Dominion Double D IPA

Overall 87/100
Appearance 22/25
Aroma 21/25
Taste 22/25
Finish 22/25
Old Dominion Brewery is located in Dove DE and they brewed this fine Double IPA named creatively Double D. This beer has a nice hefty 9% ABV and packs a nice punch with 90 IBU’s.

I found this Double IPA to pour a nice copper color, producing a nice amount of head that laces on the glass. The aroma of this beer is packed with citrus, grapefruit, piney, and some tropical hops to go with a nice caramel, and pale malt backbone. The taste of this beer doesn’t disappoint as the citrus, grapefruit, and piney hops show up full force but are balanced very well with the malt. I found the finish to be bitter with the tropical hops showing through nicely with a hint of alcohol, but overall I felt as this beer hid the ABV very well making it rather easy to drink it you like a good bite like myself.

Overall I found this to be a very nice Double IPA and I would love to try and track some more down. I would like to thank Lauren at Old Dominion for being so kind to as send me this bottle, and I would urge you to try it out if you are lucky enough to have it distributed near you.
